Also requires:
-1 circular 5.00mm (UK6) knitting needle 80cm long and 5.00mm knitting needles for your preferred method of small diameter circular knitting, or size required to give correct tension.
-9 stitch markers.
-Waste yarn.
-A yarn needle.
When substituting yarn, compare the tension gauge of the pattern and the yarn. Working a tension square to determine the suitability of the yarn as a substitute is recommended - to compare the tension for sizing but also to test whether it creates the fabric you are after.
To determine the quantity needed, compare the total meterage needed in the pattern to the meterage on the substitute.
